Well when you compare that to a F-150 Lightning or a GMC Sierra EV it comes out like a piece of crap....
Where's Chubby? He's been absent for a while from this thread. He must be day drunk and passed out again.
Is X becoming Ex?In honor of "Twitter Freedom Friday".

From the article:
Advertisers are fleeing social media platform X over concerns about their ads showing up next to pro-Nazi content and hate speech on the site in general, with billionaire owner Elon Musk inflaming tensions with his own tweets endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
Poor Elmo…
Kind of like all the other stupid shit Musk has done...
Nearly all of the blue check reporters, sports figures, politicians, media outlets, and local public figures from my old home town I followed on Twitter have stuck around and are posting on X now. There have been some changes to the user experience, none of which have been very relevant to my usage of the platform despite major cost reductions. Musk’s personal activity on the platform is seriously hurting ad revenue and making Linda Yaccarino’s job extremely difficult.
Nice to see you now agree Musk is his own worst enemy on Twitter.
Funny Twitter has held the financial reports, seems no one can easily see how much those subscriptions brought in, nor if there was an increase in Blue, or a decrease.....
Twitter was a public company, subject to SEC reporting requirements. X is private so we’ll probably never get audited figures on any of that stuff. Wrt to blue checks, Twitter didn’t charge. X does. Twitter was unable to achieve sustainable profitability. Doubtful X will either but
I knew Twitter wasn't going to work when Musk took over. How did I know, well I wasn't a user of Twitter before, and the changes Musk kept saying he was going to implement did nothing to attract people like me. Millions of people like me. Since Twitter makes its money off Ad revenue, and Ad revenue is based upon "member numbers", Musk's whole approach was fucked from day one.
Twitter didn’t make much money during its existence. It did turn a profit in 2018 and 2019, then resumed bleeding red ink. It’s never been easy to really know much about the user base because of bots and burner accounts. I stayed with it, you stayed off it. Advertisers are spooked by the prospect of their brands being associated with offensive or controversial messages.
Smart move by advertiser then I'd say.
